Actually, OSHA will not do anything. They address conditions which are hazardous.
According to OSHA's own regulations, office temperature and humidity conditions are generally a matter of human comfort rather than hazards that could cause death or serious physical harm. OSHA cannot cite the General Duty Clause for personal discomfort.

By all means, contact OSHA. If you have no other way for cooling, ie...access to open window. You can call and dont have to leave your name, etc. OSHA will investigate and cite the company - That is a health hazard.

No...OSHA wont force him to fix it...in fact if you complain to them about it they will laugh at you. Depending on your pull or importance with the company...I would tell them that if the temperature in the office becomes unbearable that you will plan on going home. It is their duty, by law, to provide a reasonable comfortable environment for you to work in. If you really need to complain to someone about it try the Labor Board.

Contact your local health department first. They can enforce public health codes and prevent workers from heat strokes. If they can't do anything then call OSHA.
